Just off camera: Anchors in the studio react to the verbal slip up Wednesday, which came just after they cut to what was supposed to be Podell at the scene of a fire but was just an empty parking lot, with Podell just out of sight

All apologies: Anchor Evrod Cassimy (left) quickly apologized after a brief moment of confusion wherein he and his co-anchor nodded confusedly

But that wasn’t necessary for all WDIV’s viewers.

‘Still love you!!!’ wrote Facebook user Angela Boston-Wallace. ‘Just not everyone is on live television when they slip.’

Podell has been a reporter at the Detroit NBC affiliate since 2007, when she started covering traffic.

At the beginning of 2013, Podell was brought onto the morning news team as a general assignment reporter.
